Hello /diy/
First timer here, can anyone help me with soldering pic related together?
Changer had a white and red wire connecting it to its mic.
Throat mic had a red and green wire.
Soldered red to red and white to green but no joy.
How wrong am I doing this?

Swap wires, if still no worky, probably an impedance mismatch or something.

What do I do in that scenario?
>>999210
Figure out what the impedance should be and fix it.
Also how many wires does that throat mic actually have? The original connector does not look mono.
The faggot in the other thread is wrong. Electret microphones are polarized and won't work if attached backwards.

Not OP, but I've never really thought about how electrets are put together. What components in them are polarized?
Are you sure the mic only has red and green, and not perhaps red, green, and bare ground?
If the throat mic was made for a cb radio, then do some googling on cb radio pin outs. The voice changer was likely pinned the same way computer mic jacks are. Google their pin out. Get a female and male jack and make an adaptor. I was never able to find a ready made adaptor.
I tried using a throat mic on my pc once. My project made it to just needing to solder the adaptor together. I stopped the project because my need for a throat mic went away (gf moved in then married me, had to switch to headphones and that eliminated the feedback I was getting from my desktop speakers.) Headphone mic sounded better than the prototype adaptor so it all got swept into the scrap drawer.

Red Green and Copper wires with that white insulation.
Is the earphone in the throat mic fuckin this up for me?
